Noncompliance with any of the foregoing, with these Official Rules, the inability to contact a potential winner within a reasonable time period, or any notification being returned as nondeliverable may result in disqualification and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate winner being chosen. Winner status is subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Prize Acceptance: By accepting the Trip Prize, each winner and each user of the Trip Prize agrees that 1) Sponsor and its designees may use (unless prohibited by law) winner’s/user’s name, location, image, likeness and/or voice for advertising and/or any other purposes in any media now or hereafter known throughout the world in perpetuity, without further compensation, permission or notification, and 2) Sponsor shall have no liability and will be held harmless by each winner and user for any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, orders, damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, obligations, losses, expenses and fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) in connection with any loss, injury or damage to me as a Sweepstakes prize winner and/or user, or any other person or entity, including, without limitation, personal injury or death to me as a Sweepstakes prize winner and/or user or any other person or damage to personal or real property, resulting in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from my acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prize and any activity related thereto or participation in the Sweepstakes.
